NCAA Tournament History

Seeding of teams for the NCAA tournament began in 1979 (the seeds of the Final Four teams are listed in paranthesis).

Lowest seeded Final Four appearances:· Since 1985, when the tournament expanded to 64-teams, the lowest seeds to ever make it to the Final Four are Virginia Commonwealth (VCU) (#11 seed in 2011), George Mason (#11 seed in 2006) and LSU (#11 seed in 1986). LSU lost to #2 seed Louisville who was the eventual NCAA champ that year (led by centre “Never Nervous” Pervis Ellison).

#1 Seeds:· In 2006: For the first time since 1980, not one of the #1 seeds has advanced to the Final Four. #2 Seed Louisville beat #8 UCLA in the 1980 championship game. This happened again in 2011.
